This study tested a path model, composed of concepts from social control, social learning and differential association theories, to determine its use in explaining frequency of adolescent sexual intercourse. The model was tested using two-stage least squares regression procedures, and it was based on assumptions underlying recent refinements in theoretical models presented in the literature. The model derived from statistical procedures did not differ much from the hypothesized model, and supported recent integrative theory that social bonding impacts adolescent behavior through influence on peer associations. The path model derived accounted for 30% of the variance in frequency of sexual intercourse
